The Village of Hartland recently entered into a new contract with Advanced Disposal for the collection of residential garbage and recyclable materials. The new program, developed in cooperation with Waukesha County and many other municipalities in the county, provides for an expanded list of recyclable materials and streamlines the process of handling and collecting refuse and recycling. These changes will save Village residents over $75,000 annually and more than $600,000 over the life of the contract. The cost for this service is included as a special charge on the annual tax bill.

Collection ProcessBoth refuse and recycling is collected from all households curbside on Tuesdays. Refuse/garbage is collected weekly from the container provided to each household by the contractor. This container is approximately 65 gallons in size and incudes the words "trash only" on the lid. Recyclable material is collected every other week from the larger container provided to each household by the contractor. This container is approximately 96 gallons in size and includes the words "recyclables only" and an orange informational label on the lid, which is a different color. The only exception to these containers and collection rules is for certain designated land conservation areas that have smaller roadways. These areas have received new smaller recycling containers and both refuse and recycling will be collected weekly.

Important Container Placement ReminderBecause the collection process is automated, it is important that the collection containers are placed as follows:

Be sure to place containers at the curbside by 6:30 am on collection day as route times can vary from week to week based on circumstances

Ensure that there is space around your cans when they are placed for collection

Containers are three (3) feet from each other as well as from other items in the area including cars or mailboxes.

Placed with the handles and wheels facing away from the street. This allows the mechanical "hand" to reach out and grab the can efficiently and without damaging anything

The ideal situation is to place the cans on opposite sides of your driveway. If that is not possible, you may have to clear some space off the side of your driveway to place your containers.

Refrain from putting containers in the street for collection

Do not place your containers out for collection more than the day before the collection day and be sure to take them back by the morning after the collection day

Collection DaysGarbage is collected curbside once a week on Tuesdays. Recyclable materials are collected every other week, also on Tuesday, beginning February 3. The Village is divided into two parts for recycling collection. The 2015 Advanced Disposal garbage/recycling calendar link below shows recycling dates as either Week A or Week B (depending on the street you live on). Locate your street on the correct recycling map to verify your bi-weekly pickup dates.

Single Sort RecyclingThe Village shifted to single sort recycling effective Jan. 1, 2015. Under single sort, residents only need to separate recyclable material from garbage.No need to separate recyclable materials any further. Paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, cans and other material can be comingled and placed in the large recycling container for collection. The list of recyclables includes, as it has in the past, all cardboard, paper, #1 and #2 plastic food containers, cans made of aluminum, tin or metal as well as glass bottles and jars. Under the new system, the list of recyclables has been expanded to include all types of #1, #2, #4, #5, and #7 containers as well as paper or gable top beverage containers such as those for milk, juice or juice boxes. Further, the list of acceptable recyclables now includes rigid plastic containers like plastic buckets, laundry baskets or crates as well as additional metals like pots and pans. Remember, all items for recycling should be empty, free of food waste and metal handles must be removed.

Please reference the Household Recycling Guide below for the current listing of recyclable materials.
